"“If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.” These words were proved true in the history of the Jewish nation. Christ's last and crowning miracle was the raising of Lazarus of Bethany, after he had been dead four days. The Jews were given this wonderful evidence of the Saviour's divinity, but they rejected it. Lazarus rose from the dead and bore his testimony before them, but they hardened their hearts against all evidence, and even sought to take his life. ( John 12:9-11 .) COL 265.1"
"And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead."
EGW directly quotes and elaborates on Luke 16:31, providing a historical example of its truth.
"Much people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there: and they came not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead. But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death; Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus."
Ellen White directly references John 12:9-11 in this passage.
"The law and the prophets are God's appointed agencies for the salvation of men. Christ said, Let them give heed to these evidences. If they do not listen to the voice of God in His word, the testimony of a witness raised from the dead would not be heeded. COL 265.2"
"Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them."
EGW directly references and interprets Luke 16:29, drawing a direct connection between the verse and the importance of heeding God's word.
"The conversation between Abraham and the once-rich man is figurative. The lesson to be gathered from it is that every man is given sufficient light for the discharge of the duties required of him. Man's responsibilities are proportionate to his opportunities and privileges. God gives to every one sufficient light and grace to do the work He has given him to do. If man fails to do that which a little light shows to be his duty, greater light would only reveal unfaithfulness, neglect to improve the blessings given. “He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much; and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.” Luke 16:10 . Those who refuse to be enlightened by Moses and the prophets and ask for some wonderful miracle to be performed would not be convinced if their wish were granted. COL 265.4"
"He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much."
Ellen White directly references Luke 16:10 in this passage.
